Hi
Anyone else suffer square tyres from sitting in the garage too long? Is there a cure?

Keep the car off the ground on axle stands and additional props ?

Alternatively, at least role the car a yard forward or back unless you can give it a spin at least once a week ?

1) Get a can of Waxoyl and slap it on the underneath
2) Get a warm hat and coat
3) Pick a nice bright dry day every two - three weeks
4) Take car for a blat

Result

Tyres not square. Smile on drivers face, Very cold ears.

If you really don't have room to roll it a few inches, and cannot put it on axle stands, then put loads of air in the tyres. Don't forget to reduce to normal pressure before driving.

Soft tyres will go square. You need to take it out for a drive, warm them up and have a blast when they're nice and sticky
